Get AWS temporary credentials ready to export based on a MFA virtual appliance

You might want to secure your AWS operations requiring to use a MFA token. But then to use API or tools, you need to pass credentials generated with a MFA token. This commands asks you for the MFA code and retrieves these credentials using AWS Cli. To print the exports, you can use: `awk '{ print "export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\"" $1 "\"\n" "export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\"" $2 "\"\n" "export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=\"" $3 "\"" }'` You must adapt the command line to include: * $MFA_IDis ARN of the virtual MFA or serial number of the physical one * TTL for the credentials

Recursive grep of all c++ source under the current directory

Convert spaces in file names to underscores

Display the end of a logfile as new lines are added to the end

return the latest kernel version from a Satellite / Spacewalk server software channel

list files recursively by size

Sync the date of one server to that of another.

(Useful when firewalls prevent you from using NTP.)
